How to Reset a Working folder VSS 2005

In Visual Source Safe 6.0, you could "reset" a working folder by setting it to a blank string. This meant that the working folder would be determined by the working folder of the parent.

How do I do this in Visual Source Safe 2005?

If VS2005 still uses the .ini files you can delete the working folder record from the file and it will inherit it from the parent.

This can't be done in the normal VSS 2005 "Set Working Folder" dialog.

However, if you hold the shift key while invoking the "Set Working Folder" dialog, it shows the old VSS 6.0 dialog. Here you can reset the working folder by deleting the string and pressing OK.
